Rating: 10/23 N: Kind of light with some mineral, floral spices, and light apple, but also just a fair amount of alcohol. I get a little bit of a dry woodiness, but not much. P: Compared with Mischief's apple brandy, this is thin, a bit harsh, and emphasizes the alcohol. Mischief doesn't taste old so much as concentrated in flavor, but this tastes young and is kind of harsh. I'd put this substantially below both Mischief and St. George. I get some nice floral apple flavors here and a bit of spice, mineral, and some banana, but there just isn't much fullness and there isn't a ton happening. This just tastes quite immature. It's refreshing, so it might be good in a spritzer or something, but the harshness, lack of complexity, and weakness are kind of problematic. F: The apple stays while the banana comes out a bit more. The floral mineral layer is still there and there's a hint of spice, but more of just the big burn than the spice. - Conclusion - I do like the fruitiness and light spiciness. It's kind of refreshing with that. I'm not such a fan of the minerality or general lightness. The harshness is an active problem. This is growing on me for sure, but I'm still skeptical. It's definitely not as good as something like Mischief Urban Foraged Apple Brandy. Still, the harshness starts to give and the sweetness starts to balanced things out. I've thought as low as 7 and as high as 14 for this. So it's not great no matter what. Still, I'm now thinking of a 10 to 13, which is certainly a higher expected value. Considering the harshness and underwhleming flavor, I think I'm going to have to land on a 10 here. Thank you, @ctbeck11, for the sample.
